We didn't buy into anything. If these "infractions" were not disclosed then how would we know better, especially since Des supposedly didn't know and was on staff? GTFOH. Don't start on the fanbase again for something we couldn't have known and you were just as much on the Napier fanbus as anyone during that time.
As just posted by MAT, CMD had a lot more to deal with last year than anyone knew and that any first year HC should have to deal with.
With hindsight, all should be proud of what was accomplished considering all the unknown variables. It’s time to recognize that we have a young and aspiring new HC that loves this university and this program and time to bury the hatchets and work with him to make the best of the future. We still have a lot to be thankful for and the the future success of this program and CMD will require the full support of its fan base, whatever size it may be . . . and a good and successful bowl game . . .
The amount of hero worship that goes on in this "fan base" is nauseting. BN lied (to us and his former assistants), pillaged (roster and support staff) and destroyed (especially academically) our foundation and people STILL buy into his BS. You're lying to yourself if you still think BN was the angel he portrayed himself to be and we're just "bitter."
So perfectly UL. Always chasing the next big thing and can't stand that we have actual work to do at home.
Good points MAT. I was discussing the academic casualties today with a friend. I told him if Billy were coming back here no way that what have happened. I could see a situation where as Billy was robbing staff and taking them to Fla and Mike was in the process of filling his coaching staff and support staff some of the at risk students that need more attention could have fallen through the cracks. It probably also takes time for the new academic staff to figure out who those kids are. I would imagine the transition played a big part in that.
I listened to this episode today while driving around the oil patch. Was maybe just the third time I’ve listened, with the other two being the first to episodes of this Fall.
The main thing I liked was stressing the need for the university to promote the upcoming bowl game ASAP. Not holding my breath, but it needs to be stressed and I hope y’all keep that up.
